Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 02, 2021

P3: Even for this strip, that joke is horrible.

P2: He did not say State Champion Gil Thorp; 2 stroke penalty.

No cart nor caddie for these two, lugging their clubs around the course? Looks suspicious already…

So now what, Heather with no job nor money and Gil, working as a coach, is going to bet big money on the game? And then what? Can hardly wait to see this play through….see what I did there?!? I can write for this strip!

Heather better be careful or all the clubs will fall out of her bag.

Carter grouped with Gil, What a co-winky-dink,

And to round this group out — Ted Fourth. Call me Fore.

P3.5 but let’s not put the cart before the horse

P1.5 still helping O.J. search for the killer?

GilPa: “Say, you didn’t see a little girl with long dark hair, a pink striped shirt, khaki shorts, pink bow in her hair and pink sock-lets, did you?”

Heather: “No. Is that one of your kids, “coach”?

GilPa: “Good, I mean…errrr…no, just asking, who said I had kids or even cared about any of them that I coach?”

In all reality, the Milford football players gather at Lake Milford for another day of not doing any Summer conditioning or preseason practice .

A foursome of pretty young Heather Burns, a rejuvenated geriatric GilPa and Cartman. Whose the fourth….Kenny?

Yeah, this is like Caddyshack 2 with Hendricks trying to play the replacement for Rodney Dangerfield. With his jokes failing miserably. Just like the sequel did.

And speaking of failing, you would be failing to seize a great opportunity to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp if you leave without going here – https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/

P1, Just those same kids you left out there the other day, Gil.

P2, Looks like nobody else will play with Cart already.

P3, I guess you don’t have a brother named Jimi ether.

So how was this set up? I guess Jawor went to Hendricks and said “How would you like to play with legendary coach Gil Thorp?” Wouldn’t that be a little weird?

They can have some fun with the whole ‘call me cart’ angle. e.g…nice putt, cart…..nice shot, cart, …tough break, cart…way to go, cart…you’re in the sand, cart

P 2: haha…that guy is actually pretty funny calling Gil “legendary” like he really means it

I am not going to call this guy “Cart”. I’m just going to call him “Gil”, since that will be a lot easier than trying to figure out which one is which.

P 4 (Heather’s voice): “…huh? …I don’t get it…” (she can start sand-bagging before “Cart” does)

P4: Heather – “Surely you can’t be serious.” Cartman – “Of course I’m serious. And don’t call me Shirley.”

Vito from Goshen has taken all day to decide to put this match on the big board. Is Gil going to purposely lose, to make the next play the sting? Will he show off that smooth swing to impress Heather and crush this guy? Lot of early money coming in on the Gilfather. He’s a legend.

Does Heather have a father named Frank?
